Skillen, Brian John: - Brian John Skillen is a professional filmmaker, choreographer, and author. His many adventures around the world have strongly influenced his writing, but nothing has affected him more than his pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago. He was first inspired to write The Way: Through a Field of Stars after his pilgrimage in 2017, where he discovered a secret Knights Templar code in the cathedrals. Since then, he has hiked over 1,000 miles across Spain doing research for this trilogy. He has walked the miles his characters have journeyed and learned the lessons they have learned.
